I have piss loads

My ultimate fave is probably Quentin Tarantino

(Pulp Fiction, Hostel, Reservoir Dogs ect)

Joss Whedon (buffy the vampire slayer, angel)

Quentin Tarrantino though? how typical.

Martin Scorsese
Danny Boyle
Robert Rodriguez
David Fincher
maybe Christopher Nolan as well

Scorcese and Coppola (not Sofia).

And didn't Eli Roth direct Hostel?

And didn't Eli Roth direct Hostel?
he did
but I don't see the big deal about him *shrugs*

Wes Anderson and Darren Aronofsky... and ya i think Eli Roth directed hostel

yes. Tarentino "presented" Hostel. (put his name on the title for a paycheque.)

anyway,
Chanwook Park
Akira Kurosowa
Martin Scorsese
Paul Greengrass
Michael Mann
Sam Mendez
Brad Bird
Hayao Myusaki
Luc Besson.

David Lynch and Stanley Kubrick

David Lynch and Stanley Kubrick
I almost picked Stanley Kubrick
but I don't see his skill at directing being much of the determining factor in the success of his films
he seems better at the basic creative influence than the actual work with the actors, camera work, effects, etc. - all of that was pretty generic

and I'm surprised no one said Hitchcock yet (though I personally feel the same about him as I do Kubrick)

Absolute favourite? I'd have to say Aronofsky at this point in time, though I consider him a film maker in the actual sense of the word and not solely a director.

i mentioned Chanwook Park, who's Hitchcock's closest contemporary :shrug:

David Lynch.

i'm almost positive no ones going to agree with me on the first one...but

Eli Roth
Takashi Miike
Alfred Hitchcock
John Cameron Mitchell xD
David Fincher
Ruggero Deodato ((even though i haven't seen Cannibal Holocaust yet, i can't find the damn thing anywhere, i have tons of respect for this guy))


i dunno.

oh yeah but tarantino still had something to do with it

oh yeah but tarantino still had something to do with it

and i repeat, put his name on it for the paycheque, because Tarentino is an untalented shill.

haha i love a bit of massacre

what you talking about? the guys got skills

no, he has a VCR and used to work at a video store. any "skill" the man has ever displayed is nothing more than plagerism from Russ Meyer and whatever other exploitation/kung fu director he could think to rip off. stealing from the obscure and riding thier back into fame doesnt make you a great director, it makes you a bastard who does too much coke.

i didnt take anything out on you, shirley. go to a video store that isnt Blockbuster and rent Kill Pussycat Kill Kill, Sweet Sweetback's Badass Song, The Good The Bad and The Ugly, and Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman. i garantee by the time you've watched all four your lips will have removed themselves from Tarentino's dick, which i'm willing to bet he stole from someone too.

haha ok

what makes you so sure?

alotta people like the guy so i can't see him copying

if anything, he may have stolen a few small things, what good director hasn't?

lots of shitty things are very popular. he's still a glorified plagarist. and i'm sure because i know more about moves than you do, snookums :) there's a difference between being influenced and flat out stealing. Tarentino flat out steals.

Seriously, just watch the films Pakx mentioned and you'll see that the 'few small things' lean more towards fucking massive chunks...

Also did someone really say that Hitchcock's camera work was generic? That all of his skill is focused in the story, not the technical skill? Really?

i give up caring :)

he's still my fave director

as is spielburg

and hitchcock

Tim burton!! :D:D

spielburg

Spiel-fucking-bErg!

I let you off it once.

Ridley Scott, Sergio Leone, Francis Ford Coppola.

i do have to say, this made me feel so much better about disliking Quentin Tarantino. i dont *hate* him...but i have never understood all the hype about his movies. i've fallen asleep during all but Death Proof...and everyone always got mad at me for not liking em. i think i like him as a person...but i just can't watch his movies. and i've tried sooo hard.

the only thing i really liked with his name on it was HOSTEL and HOSTEL: part II....but thats cause he didnt write or direct them.

Eli Roth isnt much better.
